“Everyone thinks of changing the world,
but no one thinks of changing himself.”
Leo Tolstoy

It’s true, the only way to change the world is for people to change. People are the problem. Think about it. If people would change so would the world.

Of course, this is a hard sell. Everyone wants to be the one who is right. No one wants to think that maybe they are wrong or that someone else might have a better idea. No one wants to consider compromise. Somehow compromise has come to mean weakness or the giving into someone stronger or smarter. Yes, there are some things that should not or cannot be compromised and they need to be clarified and understood but they must not put a stop to the conversation. There can be no understanding without consideration of the reasons for differences of opinion.
